It’s all relative. You don’t have to compare your issues with anyone else’s or else there’d only be one person who had it worst that would be allowed to feel bad. Sometimes it’s because of internal struggles that make things difficult and you don’t realize til later. I only relatively recent realized I had been depressed a good chunk of my life, and likely due to having undiagnosed adhd literally making everything feel harder for me.
Other people have real trauma, but I was sad as a kid so now my brain has decided we cant have anything nice anymore
